OMG! I would like something recommendation on Drama's or Love stories I can't take movies about Killing/Molestation blood and gore No thanks... I like stuff like period dramas (BBC's masterpiece classics)

I LOOOOOOVE period piece movies! I'm obsessed with them. Movies set during the Jewish Holocaust, the 50s as well as foreign films are THE best. Here is a list of ones on Netflix that I recommend along with the time frame they are set in.

1900s - 1920s (I believe)

The Last Emperor (Foreign) - The story of the last emperor and his downfall. Good movie.

Farewell My Concubine (Foreign) - Story about a boy who's mom is a prostitute. She gives him a way to an acting school for boys and he's forced to play a female role as a girl. He grows up with identity issues and you really feel for this character. Very good movie.

Set in the 1930s but made in 1950s - 1970s

Imitation Of Life - Classic. Every black person should watch that.

Paper Moon - A daughter finds her crooked daddy and they run scams together. Cute, funny movie. In real life the two actors were really father and daughter.

Holocaust Films and/or set in 1940s

Pianist - True story of a pianist who survives the holocaust. Very graphic. Very good movie. Raw

Edges Of The Lord - a Jewish boy who is taken care of by a farmer and his family to escape the Holocaust. He's mistreated by the other kids. Coming of age a little bit. Good movie.

A Secret - A child finds the truth about his family and their past prior to him being born.

Lore - The children of Nazis go into hiding and are on the run for survival

Boy In The Stripped Pajamas - Nazi officer's child lives right next to Aushwitz and his younger son becomes friends with the Jewish boy who is in the "striped pajamas". Sad and shocking. Very good.

Generation War - (Foreign) This is shown as "episodes" but it's a great movie about four friends two who are Nazis and one who is Jewish and how their lives change drastically during and after the war. Very good.

The Sword With No Name - (Foreign) Good love story. Sad.

Back To 1942 - (Foreign) VERY good movie. Extremely depressing. About the people of Henan (specifically a rich mans family) and their survival during the famine.

Twin Sisters - (Foreign)Twin girls are split from one another at a young age. One lives under Nazi idolatry and the other married a Jew.

My Way - (Foreign) VERY Good movie.

DownFall (Foreign) - The last days of Hitler. Very good.

Pressure Point - made in the 60s but a black psyhiatrist interviews a racist

Lust Caution - (Foreign) VERY good.

Bonnie & Clyde - Good

1950s - 10960s

The Talented Mr. Ripley - Good but is a bit slow in the beginning

The Home Sung Stories - (Foreign) Very good and unique story about an Asian woman, her kids, her promiscuity and her kids having to deal with her.

Lawless - One of the best movies I've seen on Netflix. Three brothers are a part of the moonshine business and have to fight against crooked police and thugs

The Paperboy - Shocking movie....everything about it was shocking.

Set in the 1980s -1990s

Boys Dont Cry - The story of Teena Brandon. Good movie, made me sad but I was surprised by how well it was done. Hilliary Swank acted well as a transgender in this.

Dog Pound - Boys who are abused in a juvenile facility

Garden Of The Night - Highly depressing movie about child abuse and the child PICS industry. Evan Ross is in this too. Its a wonderful movie but, you will be depressed.

Paid In Full - The crack era in the 80s set in New York. Very good movie.
